Bob Staake’s “Hell Train”

“The commute between my house and studio on Cape Cod is forty-five feet, so what do I know about subway rage?” Bob Staake says, about his cover for this week’s issue. “O.K., maybe I don’t have to ride the subway every day, but my kids, who live in Brooklyn and Queens, do,” he continues. “For me, the only thing worse than descending into a New York City subway in July is descending into a New York City subway in August.”
